1. WinRAR - This should really be the 1st software to install as almost everything that you download from the internet will be compressed, and winrar is the only compression utility you will ever need.

2. Internet Download Manager - Simply put, the best download manager ever written for Windows.

3. BitDefender Total Security- Many people might argue that Kaspersky is better than Bitdefender, etc, etc.. But at the end of the day, you need an anti-virus which knows its job and at the same time is not a pain in the ass.

4. TuneUp Utilities - Well, you have to keep your system performing as good as new forever. This utility has quite a bunch of tools to help keep your system optimized. Though many other software provide a lot of extra features, but an average user can always do with this.

5. VLC Media Player - One of the most versatile players known till date.

6. Nero Burning ROM - You gotta burn those movies and software and TV shows. The full installation of Nero is a disk space nightmare, and provides a lot of extra tools most users don't require. The best solution is Nero Micro edition, which provides only the basics and is sufficient for anyone and everyone.

7. Foxit PDF Reader - A PDF reader which is extremely light and provides enough functions for day to day use. Though one can use Acrobat Reader, but that is a severely bloated piece of crap.

8. Vista Codec Package - Once you install it, you wont need another media player ever. You can run almost all the audio and Video files on Windows Media Player itself. How cool is that!!

9. Mozilla Firefox - A replacement for Windows Internet Explorer. Do I need to say anything more about this?

10. iTunes - Considered the best Media Player by many people (or is it just the Apple charm?), it is a good replacement for Windows Media Player for those MP3s.

ReplyDeletebut i dont like BD dat much..... :P
well, you might not like it.. but i hate that kaspersky and norton doesn't seem to do much... i had a very pleasant experience with bitdefender that's why i recommended it.. just replace it with your favorite anti-virus program.. that's it.
